Horses

If the track is fed by overhead power lines then the track is the return path for the electric current and is at earth potential.That is 0 volts

In the UK we use a Third rail system which is raised up,and to one side of the rail.This rail is laid on china insulators and has a voltage of 750volt DC:- very dangerous since if you touch it it tends to clamp muscles on to it.

No, a horse can't nor will not burst if it falls over. A horse is much tougher than you might think, and certainly isn't like a fragile ceramic dish or decoration. There is enough cushioning of the body and organs that a horse can get back up again and keep going without any substantial injuries, as long as its legs are not broken in the fall. The most a horse as risk of breaking when falling is its legs.

CC is not related to horsepower. CC is the capacity of the cylinders of that engine. -You can have a 212 cc industrial engine of abour 20 Hp, or a 212 cc trail bike engine of 60 hp. Many other factors govern horsepower.

Height for horses and ponies is measured in hands at the withers, or shoulder blade of the horse. A hand is equal to four inches. You can buy measuring devices, but yardsticks work just as well.

No the horseshoe has been around for centuries, and old iron horseshoes from back in medieval times have been found. It is unknown who the very first person to design and create the horseshoe was, but it is known that metal horseshoes were first used on royal horses.

A Cow can see all four of its feet if it turns its head to one side or another.

The only truly wild horse left in the world is the Przewalski's horse which is found on the Russian and Central Asian Steppes. All other 'wild' horses are actually only feral. There are no feral horses in WI. There however may be abandoned horses seen roaming around the countryside in any given part of the state.

Typically this is due to age. The older a horse gets the more sunken in the hollows above the eyes will become. But it can also be caused by neglect due to lack of feeding the horse. If the horse is very emaciated it will lose the tiny amount of fat above the eyes.

A filly is a young female horse and a colt is a young male horse.

Charley horse is a type of muscle spasm that typically occurs in the leg. The muscle spasm causes the muscle to contract by itself and it cannot be relaxed normally.

It really depends on what part of the country you are riding in. The thing to remember about renting a horse is that horses are expensive to maintain. That cost will be passed on to the rentor. And the other consideration is the liability insurance that is needed to any place that has rental horses or any kind of horse buisiness. This will also be a factor in the price of the rental horse.

But on the average the cost will be from $45 to $65 an hour on average. But it is a great way to see if horse ownership is right for you. You can try it for an hour or two and see if it is something that you may want to be involved in. Or you may decide that it is too much work or does not fit your lifestyle or whatever. Anyway, have fun seeing the country from the back of a horse.

Not anymore; most horse shoes now are steel which doesn't rust and holds up longer than iron. Some show horses are shod with aluminum shoes, which don't hold up as long but are much lighter than steel shoes.

Horse rugs function the same way for horses that clothes function for humans. Because horses are warm blooded, they are affected by the climate. If it is too cold for the horse, a horse blanket will be put on the horse to keep it comfortable and to prevent it from getting sick.

The horse is a prey animal. He has evolved 'weapons' to defend themself from preditors. If you have ever watched a TV program about lions you can see they chase their prey from behind. One well placed kick from a hoof can kill instantly. This is why horses kick out behind.

Many local pet stores and pet store chains do not carry horse feed. If you are looking to buy in store, the best advice for you is to call. If you are trying to buy horse feed online, you have more options. Rucker and Steinhauser's offer horse feed, and they will deliver.

Wild horses face many dangers, however their greatest danger is us, people. Farmers get angry with them for eating their crops and decide to shoot them sometimes, and ranchers do the same thing sometimes to keep their herds from being un-pure because of a wild stallion mating with one of their horses. We people also give them another fear. When the bureau of land management rounds up the great American mustangs out west, they sell them and after a year is up they do not check on the horses anymore, which leaves some owners choices i am rather disgusted by: selling the horse to a slaughter house or money a Pound for their meat. some people eat horse in other countries as well as this one, so some buyers decide to send them to a slaughter house. But as for other predators that lurk in the wilderness besides us include: mountain lions, probably wolves, disease, and probably not much else. Horses are very fast and can reach speeds of up to 45 miles per hour, so when they run, they can most of the time run away from any predator chasing them.

Male horses are stallions, neutered adult males are geldings, and baby male horses are colts.

no

Horses graze down grasses which makes room for new plant growth. They also will dig for water allowing other animals access to these 'water holes' to drink in the summer or during droughts. They also provide manure to fertilize the ground and are a food source for predators.

No, a Horse is a mammal.
